Request for Spoken Foreign Language Court Interpreter

The Judicial Department provides spoken foreign language court interpreters at state expense for all Limited English Proficient (LEP) parties in interest in most court proceedings, child custody mediation, child planning conferences, and out-of-court communications on behalf of public defenders, assigned/appointed counsel, district attorneys and the GAL Program.

Note: Public Defenders, Assigned Counsel, District Attorney or GAL: For out-of-court communication with the LEP individual on a date other than the court date, submit this form only for LOTS services. For out-of-court Spanish language needs, contact a Spanish court interpreter directly from the Registry.

A request for an interpreter must be submitted to the language access coordinator (LAC) in the county in which the case will be heard. When you select the county in the box below, this form automatically will be sent to the LAC for that county.
